Bachelor in BTS - Production - Electrotechnique

Offered at Ecole LA MACHE in Lyon, France, the BTS Production - Electrotechnique (Higher Technician Certificate in Electrical Engineering) is a two-year bachelor-level qualification taught entirely in French, starting each September. Electrotechnics is the branch of engineering concerned with the practical application of electricity in industrial and building systems. The program covers fundamentals such as circuit theory, electrical machines, power electronics, programmable logic controllers, distribution networks, and energy management. Students also study safety standards and regulations that govern electrical installations. Hands-on training forms a significant part of the learning, with students gaining experience in wiring, commissioning, fault diagnosis, and maintenance of electrical equipment. Topics related to automation, variable-speed drives, and building management systems are commonly integrated. Graduates of programs in this discipline typically find work as electrical technicians, maintenance engineers, installation supervisors, or energy efficiency advisors in industrial plants, construction firms, facility management companies, and utilities. The qualification also provides a foundation for progression toward a licence professionnelle or specialised engineering studies.
